Irish monks is correct....many areas of Iceland still have Gaelic names from their Irish settlers. Iceland was then settled by the Norse....who used part of their ships from their homes, as there are no native trees, mixed with sod sides and roof. Eric the Red was the person accredited for having discovered Iceland....however Irish monks were already there since the 18th century. The culture is very Norse as is the language
